Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fluid-structure interaction dynamics are among the core mechanical problems in the design, construction, and operation of major engineering works and equipment in many fields such as aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, civil engineering, ocean engineering, petrochemical industry, and so on. As such, it has received extensive attention. The interaction between fluids and solids induces dynamic problems and structural vibrations, which not only affects the key performance of engineering equipment but may also cause structural damage and failure, resulting in huge losses.

In recent years, with the deep intersection and integration of various disciplines, new disciplinary growth has been promoted in fluid-structure interaction mechanics and vibration control technology, accompanied by many new research results.

This Special Issue aims to discover the latest progress and research in fluid-structure interaction vibration control. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • FSI vibration and noise characteristic analysis and control methods;
  • Key mechanical issue in fluid-structure interactions;
  • Nonlinear dynamics;
  • Underwater vehicle dynamics;
  • Flow- and vortex-induced vibration.

As global shipping accelerates toward a green and low-carbon transformation, submerged water jet propulsion has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional propellers due to its high speed efficiency, noise reduction, and adaptability. This study establishes a high-fidelity CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model incorporating vehicle body wake characteristics, validated through open-water experiments. A comparative analysis reveals that the vehicle body wake improves propulsion efficiency by 4.66% for conventional propellers and 2.32% for submerged water jet systems in near-surface operations while exacerbating cavitation-induced efficiency losses by 1.7% and 1.0%, respectively. Notably, submerged water jet propulsion demonstrates superior performance under high-velocity conditions, achieving 5–12.27% higher efficiency than conventional propellers across both open-water and vehicle body wake-affected scenarios. These findings substantiate submerged water jet propulsion’s advantages in complex flow fields, offering critical insights for marine propulsion system optimization. Full article
